An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 famous passengers on board but only four parachutes left.
The first passenger said, "I'm Kobe Bryant, the best NBA basketball player. The Lakers need me. I can't afford to die ... " So he took the first pack and left the plane.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, said, "I am the wife of the former president of the United States. I am also the most ambitious woman in the world and I am a New York Senator and a potential future president." She just took the second parachute and jumped out of the plane.
The third passenger, George W. Bush, said: "Out of my way. I'm President of the United States of America, the greatest and cleverest President in American history. I'm even greater than my Daddy. I have to lead the world's greatest superpower nation in and out of war. America can't afford for me to die." So he quickly grabbed the pack next to him and jumped out of the plane.
The fourth passenger, the Pope, turned to the fifth passenger, a Lubavitcher Rebbe, and said, "I am old and frail so I don't have many years left. As a good Catholic, I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute."
The Rebbe turned to him and said, "Thank you, but it's really OK. There are enough parachutes for both of us. 'America's greatest and cleverest President' has just taken my Tallis bag."
